Hitachi Rail has been awarded a framework contract worth €867m by Italian infrastructure operator Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) for ERTMS development and supply for central and northern Italy.
Alstom has signed a framework contract worth around €900 million with Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI) for the design, supply and commissioning of an ERTMS system.
In November, the new ERTMS system (ETCS Level 2) was to be put into operation for the first time on the Gjøvikbanen between Oslo and Gjøvik; however, this now has to be postponed.
